5.9 magnum timing chain
Hello, Timing Chain 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 van 360-5.9 Magnum. So I hop in and go to start , engine kind of locked and then started sounding like a singer sewing machine with a turbo!!?? Ok so I'm a old **** had nothing better to do so I tore the nose of [ rad-fan- water pump- timing cover etc.) Timing Chain as louse as my baules..Installed new chain & gears 6 o'clock cam gear 12 o'clock crankshaft. With Victory close at hand I turned it over and won't start😓😓 redard distributor and started..pulled # 1 cranked to TDC and ✔ timing gears (cover still of) distributor on # 1 but camshaft gear at 12 o'clock not 6 o'clock!#! Could I be that of 180% Well only run if redard all the way and then advance .. Any backup Greatly Appreciated..

I stol....er...borrowed your photo. That's one thing about doing something as long as I have, I don't realize all the little details at times. The timing marks are matching marks.

Timing Chain 5.9 magnum 2000 ram
Thanks for reading..OK lots of fuel & spark , Timing small dots lined ☝ It well run totally redarded then advance distributor..My question is with camshaft gear at 12 o'clock and crankshaft at 6 o'clock (after spinning engine) the rotor is at # 1 ?? I thought it should be at # 6 could the cam have turned 180% with old sloppy chain and can I pull distributor and have rotor position at # 6 TDC. THE OLD MAN DOWN THE ROAD....

I'll have to dig out a repair manual but I seem to remember using a straight edge from cam center and crank center to align the marks between them. That would put the crank mark at 12 o'clock and the cam mark at 6.
